This gun was completed between 1906 and 1910 according to page 237 of Donald Dallas' book "Boss & Co.: Builders of Best Guns Only". The gun has blued steel barrels and features a single bead sight on the smooth concave solid rib which is marked with a faded Boss & Co. signature, "SLEEVED" marked at either chamber, modern London proof marks on the flats along with an import mark, a second import mark under the forend, and 2 1/2 inch chambers with automatic ejectors. The barrels are fitted to the casehardened sidelock action which displays Boss' classic highly attractive bouquet and scroll engraving surrounding "BOSS & Co." signature banners on either lockplate and Boss patent markings on the left, right, and underside. The gun features a single non-selective trigger, gold centerlined cocking indicators, right hand rolled triggerguard, and a tang mounted automatic safety with gold "SAFE" indicator. The gun is fitted with a beautifully figured and multi-point checkered splinter forend with engraved fittings and an Anson button release as well as a round knob pistol grip stock with teardrop carved drop points, blank inscription oval, and a checkered bare butt. Barrel and stock measurements (R/L): bore diameter nine inches from the breech both proofed and measured at .729 inches; choke constriction .009/.009 inches; minimum wall thickness .032/.032 inches; 1 1/2 inch drop at comb; 2 1/4 inch drop at heel; 15 5/8 inch length of pull; cast-off; weight 6 lbs. 13 oz.

Very fine as professionally refurbished, retaining 99% blue finish on the barrels, some original blue on the triggerguard, flashes of original case colors on the action with the balance a fine silver patina, slight gap on either lockplate with the receiver, and light handling evidence. The wood is very good with a few chips in the forend, smoothed checkering on the forend, a few dings and scratches, and well-defined checkering on the stock. Mechanically excellent.
